Theme

Will Slots Fans Be Won Over by Evil Pumpkins’ Scary Theme? 

One thing’s for sure: there’ll be more days each year when this slot machine is out-of-season than when it will be in. But will its fun nature and well-made interface win players over?

All the Spooky Stereotypes in the Spell Book

They went all out for stereotypical spooky imagery in this KA Gaming online slot. Filling the grid, we see everything from witches’ hats and bubbling cauldrons to murky potions and disembodied eyeballs. There’s even creepy music too.

Those Pesky Pumpkins Are Looking Lively

We think players will appreciate the clever animations used to bring the pumpkin characters to life. The round-faced little critters certainly do look like they have a mind of their own as they nod menacingly.

Evil Pumpkin RTP and Variance 

Evil Pumpkin RTP

The theoretical return to player of Evil Pumpkin is 96.0% RTP, which is a fair average compared to other slots.

Volatility and Top Win

This game has a medium volatility level, making it a popular choice for some slots fans. It also means that players will notice there is a mixture of higher and lower potential payouts. As for the payout potential of this spooky video slot, and with no win multiplier in sight, the top win might give you a fright, as it’s a paltry 560x the bet.

How to Play Evil Pumpkin

Join the spooky fun in a few short steps:

1. Set your bet by with ‘New Bet’ button on the right of the start button and select from the options.
2. Now look at the paytable by pressing the ‘i’ symbol in the bottom right corner.
3. For players who enjoy using the autospin feature, you can simply press and hold the start button to reveal the configuration options.
4. If manual spins are your preference, just one quick press of the start button will set the reels rolling.
5. Gamble responsibly. There are self-exclusions and timeout functions available.

How to Win

This Evil Pumpkin slot offers players 25 paylines on its grid of five reels and three rows, which are evaluated left to right. To win, players can either make a combination of three, four or five winning symbols from the house, bat, ghost, cat or gravestone symbols. The other eight symbols must be identical matches of three, four or five to win. As the game uses a cascading mechanism, more symbols will fill the spaces from winning symbols to bring the chance of matching more wins on a spin.

Evil Pumpkin Bonuses 

The Evil Pumpkin bonus features aren’t exactly numerous: there's not even a scatter symbol. However, they do include free spins, stacked wilds and a free spins bonus game called the Fever Game. This Evil Pumpkin slot review will now take a closer look at them.

Stacked Wilds

The wild pumpkin symbol will substitute for any symbol at any time in the game, but during the base game, there’s a chance of transforming one or more of reels 2, 3, 4 or 5 into a reel full of stacked wilds. Now that’s what we call magic (otherwise known as just a stroke of luck). 

Fever Game

During the first spin in the base game, players will be interested to hear that there’s the chance for any random symbol on reels 2, 3, 4 or 5 to become wild. This isn’t just from the initial spin itself, but also from any subsequent cascades.

Evil Pumpkin Review - Our Verdict 

We did wonder whether a slot best suited to Halloween would have enough to offer to interest fans the rest of the year-round. This Evil Pumpkin slot review will now weigh in with the verdict.

Minimum Features but Plenty of Entertainment

While it’s true that this might be better off as a Halloween game, we think that the theme is so well produced that it makes the game entertaining enough that players won’t mind too much about it not being packed full of features.

So Will Players Think It’s Magic, or Will They Run Screaming?

We think that players will likely enjoy this slot. The only things we weren’t so keen on were the max win of 560x, which we think is a little low compared to some other slots, no win multiplier, and the fact that the Fever Game was so elusive to access. Despite that, we think the quality of the theme and gameplay is enough to cast a spell on you.
